Fuses

Your vehicle's electrical system is 

protected by fuses.

If any lights, accessories, or controls do 

not work, inspect the appropriate circuit 

protector. If a fuse has blown, the inside 

element will be melted.

If the same fuse blows again, avoid using 

that system and consult an Authorized 

Mazda Dealer as soon as possible.

 Fuse Replacement

Replacing the fuses on the vehicle's left 

side

If the electrical system does not work, first 

inspect the fuses on the vehicle's left side.

1.  Make sure the ignition is switched off, 

and other switches are off.

2.  Open the fuse panel cover.

3.  Pull the fuse straight out with the 

fuse puller provided on the fuse block 

located in the engine compartment.

4.  Inspect the fuse and replace it if it is 

blown.

Normal

Blown

5.  Insert a new fuse of the same amperage 

rating, and make sure it fits tightly. If 

it does not fit tightly, have an expert 

install it. We recommend an Authorized 

Mazda Dealer.

  If you have no spare fuses, borrow one 

of the same rating from a circuit not 

essential to vehicle operation, such as 

the AUDIO or OUTLET circuit.

CAUTION

Always replace a fuse with a genuine 

Mazda fuse or equivalent of the same 

rating. Otherwise you may damage 

the electric system.
